Oh, sure, I know what's on Speed. The reference to the other series was because that's what I'll be trying to find enough time to watch this weekend besides Le Mans. The IndyCar coverage is on Versus (which also has cycling coverage - Dauphine Libere & Tour de Suisse).
Speed (AKA "All NASCAR, all the time") carries a lot of NASCAR because the powers-that-be at Fox think that's what they can sell (Speed was bought by Fox a few years ago). And I'm sure the deal cut to get the TV rights to the principal series required them to also carry some of the support races, lower series, etc. But of late there does seem to be at least a slight reduction in the emphasis on NASCAR - possibly due to the fact that NASCAR is no longer quite the ratings powerhouse it was. It's still by far the most popular series in the US, but it's losing market share.
